If you are a knowledgeable cyclist who wants to take your road experience to the next level, book April 19, 21 and 26, 2018 on your calendar for CAN-BIKE Level 4: Advanced Cycling Skills. The class will have in-depth, hands-on experience about riding in complex traffic situations, included the daunting LRT tracks and traffic, as well as class time spent on cycling maintenance, tire repair and cycling theory.

For young people and adults who have no riding experience whatsoever (so "learn-to-ride without falling over" instruction) Level 1 Classes will be held Tuesday, May 1 and Thursday, May 3. These are compact, accessible evening classes. Level 2 Classes, which take you beyond learning to ride to get into cycling fundamentals and perhaps some road riding, will be held Wednesday, May 9 and Thursday, May 17. And the Level 3 Class, which adds layers of understanding and experience on and off your bicycle, is a two-part session: Thursday, May 24 and Saturday, May 26.

These courses will be taught at the Waterloo Memorial Recreation Complex by qualified CAN-BIKE instructors (including yours truly) who have years of experience in helping people of all ages feel comfortable and confident riding bicycles.

Join the cycling generation.
